I've installed 3.0-19980804-SNAP on a quad PPro box, and occasionally had reboot problems where I would get a message like ``apic_ipi stuck. Rebooting within 15 seconds.'' at which point it reboots and gets to exactly the same thing. Usually, a hard reboot will bring it back to its senses. Yesterday when I tried to bring the machine up (it was shut down before a planned AC outage), for four consecutive reboots it went into this mode. At that point I gave up and left it powered off. Is this a software bug, and if so is it fixed in -current? Unfortunately, I'm pretty pressed for time for the next week or two, so I may not be able to try out anything that requires a significant amount of time, but if there's a quick fix I'd probably be able to try it out. I can scribble some of the bootup messages on paper tomorrow if that would help. Thanks in advance.
